Hang in LiJiang

Here we are in LiJiang and for the past two days we've just been hanging in this small adorable Naxi Town. After a day at the forbidden city, a halarious bus ride (due to Logan's youtube impressions), and a couple of nerverackingly close-to-missed flights we've arrived in this beautiful place. Logan hasn't been feeling good and yesterday morning we decided to push the Tiger Leaping Gorge Trek off for a couple days. He slept most of yesterday... its good for him. This Quigley mode of travel can be rough even when we aren't pushing it. His being sick kinda reminds me of past trips.. Laying on the floor in our Luxor flat while my stomach does backflips... Puking my head off every fifteen minutes for hours in the middle of nowhere in Tanzania... Coming home from Italy with a soar throat and scratchy eyes and realizing i have strep and double pink-eye.. Falling on a rock and chipping my front tooth to the nerve in Thailand..

Somehow though... It doesn't bother me. I love how we plow on. Ready for adventure, taking it as it comes and showing the world we're not afraid of anything. I love not being scared of life...

Anyway- Logan's a trooper and better today. I think were going out later to wander the town. It's storybook. Cobblestoned with shops linning the narrow streets. Everywhere you turn there's a picture perfect alleyway with streams gurgling happily. There are signs periodically that say things in bad english that make us all laugh. Things like 'beware of slip' and 'please shop rationally' and 'throw away litter makes prosperous tourist'. haha you'd think they could get someone to proof them but im glad they didn't. Yesterday Aidan and I happened upon the food market. It was beautiful, vegtables and fruits, along with spices and buffalo meat here and there,- all lined up on the sides of a curving dirt road . It felt so real. We bought melons and bananas. I could get used to this lifestyle..

I think I'm headed for a nap now...or maybe I'll just lie around listening to Courtney's playlist- A habit I've falled victim to with no sign of recovery. Zi-Zee-en, but just for a couple of revolutions on this spinning world:)
